(MACCS2) Uses

Overview: Background
• Tool used to assess the risk and consequence associated
with a hypothetical release of radioactive material to the
atmosphere.
• Evolved from codes used in the 1970’s and the 1980’s.
• Accounts for:
– Transport and dispersion in the atmosphere and deposition to ground
– Exposure due to inhalation, ingestion, and external irradiation
– Protective actions during emergency and long-term phases
• Estimates consequence in terms of:
– Health effects
– Economic impacts

Overview: Pathways
MACCS2 models the radioactive release to the atmosphere (e.g. plume rise,
dispersion, dry and wet deposition)
MACCS2 estimates the health effects from: inhalation, cloud shine, ground
shine, skin deposition, and ingestion (e.g. water, milk, meat, crops)

MACCS2 Modules
• ATMOS
– Atmospheric transport and dispersion
• EARLY (1 day to 1 week)
– Emergency-phase countermeasures and consequences
– Consequence altered by sheltering, evacuation, and relocation
(i.e. Protective Action Guides (PAG))
• CHRONC
– Intermediate (0 to 1 year)
– Long-term consequences (0 to 317 years; 50 years typical use)
– Consequence altered by decontamination, interdiction, and
condemnation (i.e. Protective Action Guides)

MACCS2 Preprocessors
• SECPOP2000 code
– US site specific population distribution (based on 2000 census data)
• MELMACCS code
– Utility for creating a MACCS2 formatted source term from MELCOR
• Dose Conversion Factor utility codes and files
– DOSFAC2 code
– FGRDCF code
– ICRP-68/72 file
• COMIDA2 code
– Food chain
– Includes decay and ingrowths
– A standard file is distributed with MACCS2/WinMACCS

cumulative distribution function (CCDF))
WinMACCS(Graphical user
interface)
• Organizes all data needed
to run MACCS2
• Constructs input files
• Enables sampling and
processing of uncertain
inputs
• Post-processes results
•
Latin Hypercube Sampling
(LHS): Performs stratified
random sampling of input
variables
•
COMIDA2: Creates food-chain
inputs to MACCS2
•
MACCS2: Analyzes
consequences from
atmospheric release of
radionuclides

MACCS2 Uses
• Probabilistic Risk Assessments (e.g., NUREG-1150)
• Severe accident studies (e.g., State-of-the-Art Reactor
Consequence Assessment (SOARCA))
• National Environmental Policy Act Studies;
– License renewal
– New reactor applications
• Other Federal agencies and international organizations
